Sierra Universal Rectifier 18-99429 - 20 Amp - Replaces 474470, 650450, 617450 - Fits 2/3/4 Cylinder Outboards
The Sierra 18-99429 is a 20 amp universal rectifier engineered as a direct replacement for the charging system on 2, 3, and 4 cylinder outboard engines. The rectifier converts the AC output from the outboard's stator into DC current to charge the battery, making it a critical component for reliable electrical system operation. It is built as a drop-in replacement covering a wide range of outboard applications, cross-referencing to numerous OEM part numbers so boaters can find the correct replacement using either the original engine manufacturer's number or the Sierra part number 18-99429.
This rectifier is compatible with 2 cylinder outboards from 9.9 to 50 HP, 3 cylinder outboards from 50 to 90 HP, and 4 cylinder outboards from 100 to 140 HP. It is a straightforward bolt-in replacement for a failed or underperforming rectifier, restoring proper charging output and preventing battery drain or overcharging caused by a degraded unit. Compact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds, it is sized to fit within the existing mounting location on the outboard's electrical panel without modification.
